Abstract excerpt
The bacterial sigma54 RNA polymerase holoenzyme binds to promoters as a stable closed complex that is silent for transcription unless acted upon by an enhancer-bound activator protein. Using DNA binding and transcription assays the ability of the enhancer-dependent sigma54 holoenzyme to interact with promoter DNA containing various regions of heteroduplex from -12 to -1 was assessed. Different DNA regions...
